Epic Fitness 1000MX manual Measure your heart rate if desired

7 Measure your heart rate if desired.

You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor. Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are	Contacts
sheets of clear
plastic on the

on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic. To use
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
first make sure

that your hands are clean. Next, stand on the foot rails and hold the handgrip pulse sensor; your palms should be resting on the upper con- tacts, and your fingertips should be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, two dashes (– –) will ap-

pear in the Pulse display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

When you are finished exercising, remove the

8 key from the console.

Step onto the foot rails, press either of the Stop but- tons, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when the treadmill is folded to the stor- age position or the treadmill will become dam- aged. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. Note: If the displays and various indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the “demo” mode. See page 21 and turn off the demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, move the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and unplug the power cord.
